New research from LinkedIn reveals that unlocking AIs full potential is not just a tech challenge, but also a talent challenge - with businesses turning to recruitment teams to play a leading role in using AI to build the workforce of the future.
Businesses are not satisfied with their companys AI progress and say there is a skills gap challenge
Only 4 in 10 business leaders are satisfied with their progress on AI, and half say a performance gap is emerging between employees who embrace AI to reimagine how work gets done, and those only using it for basic tasks or not at all.
And, nearly half of talent development leaders say their executives are concerned employees do not have the right skills to execute on business strategy.
Recruiters have a massive opportunity to solve the skills gap challenge for their companies and harness AI to do so
Nearly 9 out of 10 recruiters (86%) in the US and UK say their CEO is relying on them to build the workforce of the future.
While a third of recruiters say the majority of their teams are AI power users (34%) - those who blend AI and human skills to drive strategic impact aligned to business goals - most (47%) say their teams are only practitioners, using AI to improve productivity in their own roles, but not driving strategic impact.
Recruiters who use AI tools say they're helping them to spend more time as a strategic talent advisor to the business (66%) and improve the candidate experience (64%).
The risks of falling behind are real: recruiters warn that without building AI skills in the next 12 months, their teams may fall behind competitors (45%), struggle to attract top talent (41%), and miss growth targets (38%).
Recruiters using LinkedIns Hiring Assistant are leading the way in agentic hiring and transforming hiring at their companies
Hiring Assistant, LinkedIns AI agent for recruiters, is built into a recruiters flow of work, learns their preferences and enables recruiters to leverage AI in their day to day to drive real results.
Today, recruiters using LinkedIns Hiring Assistant are saving 4+ hours per role, reviewing 62% fewer profiles, and seeing a 69% improvement in InMail acceptance rates.
Companies including AMD, Aurecon, Chewy, Expedia Group, Fabletics, Insite, Jacobs, MediaNews Group, Microsoft, Siemens and Wipro are using it today to transform hiring.
LinkedIns customer Insite reported a 20% increase in revenue, directly tied to placements made through Hiring Assistant.
"Recruiters who are AI power users are setting the pace for agentic hiring," said Mark Lobosco, Vice President of LinkedIn Talent Solutions. "When we designed Hiring Assistant over a year ago, we wanted to create a conversational and intuitive product that learns the unique preferences of each and every recruiter using it. Hiring Assistants personalization, fueled by our real-time data and network of over 1 billion people, is enabling recruiters to become AI power users and transform hiring at their organizations."
Today, LinkedIn is rolling out new features to Hiring Assistant to help hirers find the best talent for their roles:
New Microsoft Teams integration to make collaboration easier: One of the most critical aspects to finding the right candidate are the conversations between the recruiter and hiring manager, but the intake process can take hours. Thats why LinkedIn is making collaboration easier by bringing Hiring Assistant into Microsoft Teams. With Hiring Assistant now in the flow of work, recruiters and hiring managers can collaborate in real time, as opposed to spending hours coordinating candidate reviews or jumping between systems. Now, hiring managers can review recommended candidates and provide feedback directly in Teams, and Hiring Assistant will adjust the search, learn from it and provide updated top candidates. Hirers will save time and can move to the sourcing stage of the hiring process even faster. It will begin rolling out to customers over the next few months.
And over the next year, well continue to explore how we can build on this integration so if recruiters and hiring managers want to chat, they can simply add Hiring Assistant to their call and it will follow along, capture context and adjust the search accordingly.
New Applicant Tracking System (ATS) integration capabilities to evaluate all candidates in one place. Hirers spend 3-5 hours a day sifting through applications, jumping from one system to the next. By connecting LinkedIn with a recruiters Applicant Tracking System in Hiring Assistant, hirers can evaluate every candidate - whether sourced on LinkedIn or their ATS - in one unified place to get smarter matches and speed up shortlisting. LinkedIn will be introducing this integration with the following partners: Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Teamtailor, Tracker, Workable, Workday, Zoho and more.
Greenhouse helps companies consistently find and hire the right talent. As a proud partner with LinkedIn on the ATS integration with Hiring Assista
